Alicia Haverland, also known as Deputy Haverland, is a minor character that appears in Season 1 (2015) of the television series, Scream.
With her first (and so far, only) appearance, was in the third episode of the first season, "Wanna Play a Game?" at the park looking for 17-year old Tyler in a sting operation (due to being set up as the prime suspect of being the Lakewood Slasher), alongside Deputy Mike Newsome and her former boss and sheriff Clark Hudson, who was posing as a decoy of 16-year old Riley Marra, in order to get the suspect to trust her and then catch and arrest him as the alleged perpetrator of the Second Lakewood Murders (2015-2016) committed nearly 21 years to the date of the original in 1994.
However, she and the other deputies at the Lakewood Sheriff's Department including her own former sheriff are unaware of the fact of Tyler being a posthumous victim; who's vehicle and dismembered head and body would be used as a ploy by the actual killers, 20 year old Autopsy of a Crime podcaster Piper Shaw and her accomplice being 17-year old Kieran Wilcox, a junior from George Washington High School, and the sheriff's own son and later killer; with Piper being the daughter of framed serial .
Despite this, some newspaper articles shown throughout the first season, as well as in Season 2 (2016), show her first name as Alicia, implying that she was a journalist covering the Lakewood Murders.
She is portrayed by Carmela Zumbado.

- The other two from the TV series being Lorraine Brock in Season 1, Deputy Lavern Shell in Season 2, and FBI Special Agent Kirby Reed in Scream VI.
- Only Haverland and the former three are still alive as of 2025.

- The second Latina female in the franchise after Dawnie in Scream 2.
- Succeeding Dawnie and Haverland will be half-sisters, Samantha and Tara Carpenter from the fifth and sixth film.
- Jake Fitzgerald may possibly be the first as he is shown to speak some Spanish, but it is unknown if either of his parents have Latino or Spanish roots.
- The first and only Latina female law enforcement character in the franchise.
- Her actress is Carmela Zumbado and for some reason she is not credited as Deputy Haverland and instead as Riley Decoy.
- Alicia is one of various episodic/minor characters in the TV series and of who has a few speaking lines, succeeded by Ava Miller, Eddie Hayes, Becky, Tommy Jenkins, and Latavious.
- In the films, this would be similar to minor characters in only a few scenes and with only a few speaking lines, such as the two unnamed male pranksters in Scream, Frank Down in Scream 2, Don Crosby in Scream 3, Danny Orth in Scream 4 and various reporters, Frances in Scream (2022), and the Bodega Clerk in Scream VI.
- It is possible that her full name, Alicia Haverland, as depicted in some newspaper clippings throughout the first and second season, implies that she was also a journalist (either part time or full, if she had left the Lakewood police force).
- This would make her one of various female reporters in the Scream franchise, preceded by Gale Weathers in all seven films, Nancy Loomis (despite being Ghostface, as her alias Debbie Salt), Reporter with Mask, and Obnoxious Reporter, and the second in the TV series, if counting Piper Shaw's journalistic profile as a podcaster.
